Thinking about shifting your yard toward natives, but not sure where to start? You’re not alone. Choosing the right plants can feel daunting, but it’s also the fun part.

In this two-part series, our former Director of Horticulture, Andrea DeLong-Amaya, will guide you through the essentials of building a native plant garden. You’ll explore a wide range of Texas natives, learn their unique growing characteristics, and discover how to match them with your site’s conditions. By the end, you’ll be ready to select plants with confidence and create a garden that’s both beautiful and resilient.
